2 Walking Tips to Avoid Sciatic Pain
1. Shorten your stride. Long strides can irritate your sciatic nerve by compressing the
discs in your low back. Focus on landing between your midfoot and heel, then gently roll through to your toes and push off into the next stride.

2. Engage your core muscles to support your spine. Actively engaging your abdominal muscles protects your sciatic nerve roots by minimizing pressure on your spine. Keep your posture tall and pull your stomach slightly toward your body for the duration of your walk.
